⚙️ How It Works
DeepSeek Harness → harness-unity-bridge CLI → .harness-unity-bridge/command.json → Unity Editor → response.json
- DeepSeek Harness (or you) runs
harness-unity-bridgecommands - The CLI writes commands to
.harness-unity-bridge/command.json - Unity Editor polls and executes commands
- Results appear in
.harness-unity-bridge/response-{id}.json
Each Unity project has its own .harness-unity-bridge/ directory, enabling multi-project support.
